Catch Up

Has it really been over two weeks since I last posted? Where has the time gone? I can't believe how busy things have been lately, and unfortunately I don't see them calming down anytime soon. I've been busy with the normal everyday household things, as well as doing weddings, and trying to figure out primary. I don't know if I mentioned it before or not, but I was recently called as the primary president in our ward. I'm grateful for the calling and I'm enjoying it, it's just a lot of work right now. Of course I'm a big planner, as well as a perfectionist, so I'm trying to get everything squared away for the rest of this year as well as the first part of next year because I'll pretty much be out of commission when the baby comes. Thankfully I have a wonderful presidency that is welling to put up with my insanity.

I have managed to do a few fun things with Emily. Last week we all met at my mom's and pulled out her water slide. The kids of course loved it as usual. But then they have fun together no matter what they're doing together.

And then a lot of my time the past week has been taken up with this guy:

Jeff had surgery last Wednesday. For those of you who are more medically inclined and actually care about the terminology - he had his subtalar joint fused. Of course he was in pain afterwards and loopy from the medications, but he's doing better now. The first couple of days were a little rough - he wasn't able to do much of anything. But he's now able to do a lot more for himself, which in turn helps me a ton. I told him he was giving me a good taste of what it's going to be like to have two kids. He went back to work on Monday and he's done ok, but comes home completely drained. It's going to be a long couple of months till he's back to normal. Thank heavens this should all be over with by the time our little guy comes along.

One good thing about Jeff having surgery though is that I finally got my wood floor completely finished. Jeff (and his dad) put in all the trim and transition pieces before his surgery. I LOVE it! It is so much better than the nasty carpet that used to be there.
